Gwinnett Technical College Students Awarded Scholarships As Part of CleanSpark’s Community Commitment
January 27 2022 - 9:00AM
CleanSpark, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK) (the “Company” or “CleanSpark”), a
sustainable bitcoin mining and energy technology company, has
established a scholarship at Gwinnett Technical College for five
students seeking an associate degree in the computer sciences
program (computer programming, cybersecurity, game development,
networking specialist, and website development and design).
The CleanSpark Scholarship for Technological Innovation covers
full tuition and books for five students. Students were awarded the
scholarship during their 2021 winter break. Cybersecurity student
Macy Bazzell was one of the five students selected for the
scholarship.
“Continuing my education is my highest priority,” said Bazzell.
“The CleanSpark Scholarship for Technological Innovation from the
Gwinnett Tech Foundation will increase my ability to continue my
education past the associate degree and allow me to continue to
seize opportunities and expand my knowledge set. I hope to use my
skills to advance myself, as well as others, while putting a little
bit of good into the world.”
Gwinnett Technical College is a state-of-the-art institution
with almost 13,000 students enrolled across two campuses and a
95.4% job placement rate. There are more than 140 degree, diploma
and certificate programs. It has served students for more than
three decades and was designated a Military Spouse Friendly® School
once again for the 2021-2022 academic year.
“We were elated at the news that CleanSpark was interested in
supporting our computer sciences program,” said Dr. D. Glen Cannon,
Gwinnett Technical College President. “The technical skills
acquired in our computer science associate degree programs prepare
students for meaningful and lucrative careers in any industry. We
appreciate CleanSpark and their recognition of our commitment to
building a sustainable, qualified workforce and were compelled to
invest in our students and college.”
The scholarships were granted as part of CleanSpark’s commitment
to partnering with the communities it operates in. The company has
two mining operations in the Atlanta suburbs, including one in
Gwinnett County. CleanSpark expects to invest $145 million in
capital improvements and jobs at its Norcross facility in Gwinnett
County over the next five years.
“We’re always looking for ways to be good citizens in our
communities,” said CleanSpark CEO Zach Bradford. “The county has
been so welcoming to us, so we wanted to give back and support the
industries we believe in. We look forward to seeing what our
scholarship recipients accomplish in the years to come.”
